Once my cake was stacked I popped it into the fridge to chill, this allows the cake to firm up a bit and makes it easier to handle. ![]() If you make your cake too high you risk the chance of it being too wobbly and possibly falling over (go home cake, you’re drunk). I found that I needed to cut my fourth layer in half so that my cake wasn’t as tall, discarding the bottom half and keeping the top. Continue this process with the next three layers, making sure you are only using the layers you leveled off for the bottom three tiers and then the untouched one for the top. If you aren’t using a filling, be sure to spread on a nice even layer of buttercream or ganache. Fill a piping bag with some of your buttercream and pipe a circle around the perimeter, creating a dam so that the filling doesn’t spill out the sides of your cake once you add more layers. Spread a small amount of buttercream onto the surface of the cake, not too thick. Start off by smearing some buttercream onto the cake board to help adhere your first layer of cake and keep it from sliding around. I have gone with a strawberry filling and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream to be paired with my vanilla cakes. You will need to level off three of the cakes, keeping the fourth as is for the top of the cake to shape the minions head. ![]() I have baked (4) 5X3 inch round cakes to accommodate the amount of servings I will need for my client, around 15 people. These guys are one of my biggest client requests, but this is my first attempt at a girly minion! I’ve attached the reference photo I used that has the two eyed version as well:) ![]() It seems like you can’t go anywhere anymore without these guys popping up here and there, and cakes are no expectation. Hello fellow cakers! Today I am going to show you how to make a minion, with a twist.
